ICELANDIC GOAT

 


We found a small herd of Icelandic goats while touring around the island one day so stopped for a while. They were all quite friendly and allowed us a close approach = probably they were used to visitors and hoping for some food. The older males were the most impressive with their horns and very long coats while the smaller females (which had white coats) were shorter-haired. Well, that was a few years ago and although I did some studies while in Iceland, it has taken me until now to get around to doing more detailed studies of these impressive animals. This oil is another 10 x 8 inch painting done on gessoed board.
